I have #republican friends who call me respectfully their favorite #libtard. But, for the life of me I can't understand their #aversion to #vaccines, though #educated, their love of #guns though hatred of #war and loss, their championing of #freedoms as long as it does not impact their freedoms; ie, #masks, their despise of #taxes but it is ok to tax others just not them, their desire to live in the #past w prevalent #disease & short #life spans. I find them #confusing and #illogical?

You would think that at least some of the highly #educated people on #mastodon would understand the basics of #human #psychology, to wit that almost anything becomes "normal" after a while and changing people's mindset from normal to abnormal is very hard

Reading #Educated now by Tara Westover and amazed how widely this American virus of anti-science, apocalyptic, Christian Nationalist sentiment has been brewing since at least the 1990s. Shameful how it has victimized so many children, and grown like a cancer in my country. We ignorantly anticipated "the End Times" back in the 70s, but apparently, that was just Act 1. Have we grown as a species at all? #tarawestover #Mormon

Many #Black #Californians #report adjusting their appearance or behavior — even #minimizing questions — all to reduce the chances of #discrimination & #bias in #hospitals , #clinics & #doctors’ offices. Of the #strategies they describe taking, 32% pay special attention to how they dress; 35% modify their speech or behavior to put doctors at ease. And 41% of #Black #patients signal to providers that they are #educated , #knowledgeable & #prepared .

The reason #Nebraska is having such issues attracting and keeping #educated workers isn't because of lack of #educational opportunities. Once one gets a broader education, Nebraska's rightward tilt just doesn't seem inviting to most.
Anecdotally I know at least one smart cookie (*my son, who I may be slightly biased about*) who is eager to get out as soon as high school is done. With our fullest support, as well a little jealousy at having the freedom to easily do so.

BOOK REVIEW: What is the value of an education? In the memoir Educated, it is an opportunity to free yourself from the shackles of repression. The author displays courage and strength in rising up from suppression in the face of ignorance. This was a five-star read I can't recommend enough.

@RickiTarr by definition liking the status quo is #conservative think. Is that the issue do you think?
I enjoy the #discussions here and have been caught up in and #educated by several on this #platform which never occurred on the shit site. That was #argument for argument's sake IMHO.

Before anyone (especially white settlers) tries to 'educate' me on #IndianAct in #Canada - pls realize I'm more than a little bit #educated on #Canadian #UglyTruths regarding #Indigenous #FirstNations here. I've fought alongside native #LandDefenders .
Highly suggest #reading #research about past & present #exploitation & #abuses from governments & industry before making ignorant comments about #NativeLands #resourceExtraction & #interconnected #CulturalGenocide issues.

I see that - I guess #labour calculate that the number repulsed by that is exceeded by the number converted to vote #labour. It will make no difference on #merseyside because nobody reads the rag there
Nor among the #educated, left or right, for the same reason
I doubt this is the leader's decision alone - there is a communications team manages this stuff
@dustcircle it seems the GOP Fear Mongering Machine is doing an effective job. The level of #Educated individuals in the US is steadily declining and it shows. #RenewingMyPassport
not sure how much #Mexico as a state had to do with this development of this: likely as inhibitory as facilitative.
#university #educated #peasant are the terms I'm batting for :D
